Key Takeaways
- Bitwise filed an S-1 with the SEC to launch a spot ETF holding the HYPE token from Hyperliquid.
- The proposed ETF aims to provide HYPE exposure via traditional brokerage accounts with Coinbase Custody as custodian.
Bitwise Asset Management has filed an S-1 registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a spot trust that will hold HYPE, the native token of perpetual DEX Hyperliquid. The vehicle is structured to reflect the token’s value through a daily net asset value benchmark.
